I appreciate you seeing me on such short notice.
Capt. West:
Would you like to sit down?
Galloway:
I'm fine sir.
Capt. West:
Have a seat.
Galloway:
[embarassed]
OK.
Capt. West:
I understand we had some trouble over the weekend down in Cuba?
Galloway:
[as she hands him their files]
Yes sir. This past Friday two marines, a Lance Corporal Harold Dawson and Private Louden Downey entered the barracks room of a Pfc. William Santiago and assaulted him. Santiago died approximately an hour later. The NIS agent who took Dawson and Downey's statements maintained they were trying to prevent Santiago from naming Dawson in a fence line shooting incident. They're scheduled to have a hearing down in Cuba this afternoon at sixteen hundred. Dawson and Downey are both "recruiting poster" marines. Santiago was known to be a screw up. I was thinking it sounded a lot like a code red.
Capt. West:
Christ.

- Jo, you know Commander Lawrence.
- Yes, sir.
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.261
Captain, I appreciate
you seeing me on such short notice.
00:00:05.336 --> 00:00:07.796
- Would you like to sit down?
- I'm fine, sir.
00:00:07.872 --> 00:00:10.034
- Have a seat.
- Okay.
00:00:10.407 --> 00:00:12.902
I understand we had some trouble
over the weekend down in Cuba?
00:00:12.976 --> 00:00:15.975
Yes, sir.
This past Friday, two Marines...
00:00:16.999 --> 00:00:20.999
a Lance Corporal Harold Dawson
and a Private Louden Downey...
00:00:20.084 --> 00:00:24.282
entered the barracks room of a P.F.C.
William Santiago and assaulted him.
00:00:24.355 --> 00:00:27.847
Santiago died at the base hospital
approximately an hour later.
00:00:27.925 --> 00:00:31.452
The N.I.S. Agent who took
Dawson and Downey's statements...
00:00:31.528 --> 00:00:33.826
maintains they were trying
to prevent Santiago...
00:00:33.898 --> 00:00:36.731
from naming Dawson
in a fence line shooting incident.
00:00:36.008 --> 00:00:40.566
They're scheduled to have a hearing
down in Cuba this afternoon at 1600.
00:00:40.638 --> 00:00:42.572
- What's the problem?
- Dawson and Downey...
00:00:42.064 --> 00:00:46.974
are both recruiting poster Marines,
and Santiago was known to be a screw-up.
00:00:47.997 --> 00:00:49.808
I was thinking it sounded an awful lot
like a Code Red.
00:00:50.614 --> 00:00:52.172
Christ.
00:00:52.249 --> 00:00:55.912
Sir, I'd like to have them moved
up to Washington and assigned counsel...
00:00:55.986 --> 00:00:58.284
someone who can really look into this...
00:00:58.355 --> 00:01:00.721
someone who possesses
not only the legal skill...
00:01:00.791 --> 00:01:03.726
but a familiarity
with the inner workings of the military.
00:01:03.794 --> 00:01:06.285
In short, Captain,
I'd like to suggest that...
00:01:06.363 --> 00:01:08.331
I be the one who that...
00:01:08.399 --> 00:01:12.998
that it be me who is assigned
to represent them...
00:01:12.136 --> 00:01:13.569
myself.
00:01:15.639 --> 00:01:18.164
Commander Galloway, why don't you
get yourself a cup of coffee?
00:01:18.242 --> 00:01:20.233
Thank you, sir.
I'm fine.
00:01:20.001 --> 00:01:23.508
I'd like you to leave the room so
we can talk about you behind your back.
00:01:23.058 --> 00:01:25.514
Certainly, sir.
00:01:32.289 --> 00:01:35.349
I thought this Code Red shit
wasn't going on anymore.
00:01:35.426 --> 00:01:38.052
With the Marines at Gitmo, who knows
what the hell goes on down there?
00:01:38.595 --> 00:01:40.001
We better find out
before the rest of the world does.
00:01:40.831 --> 00:01:42.001
Damn thing could get messy.
00:01:42.733 --> 00:01:45.258
All right,
what about this Commander Galloway?
00:01:45.336 --> 00:01:48.464
She's been working a desk
in Internal Affairs...
00:01:48.539 --> 00:01:50.473
for a little over a year now.
00:01:50.541 --> 00:01:53.533
- Before that?
- Disposed of three cases in two years.
00:01:53.061 --> 00:01:56.443
Three cases in two years?
Who's she handling, the Rosenbergs?
00:01:56.001 --> 00:01:59.999
- She's not cut out for litigation.
- She's a hell of an investigator.
00:01:59.416 --> 00:02:02.608
In Internal Affairs she can crawl up
a lawyer's ass with the best of them.
00:02:02.001 --> 00:02:06.052
- But when it comes to trial work...
- I know. All passion, no street smarts.
00:02:06.059 --> 00:02:08.524
Bring her back in.
00:02:19.859 --> 00:02:21.001
Commander, we're gonna have the
defendants moved up here in the morning.
00:02:22.987 --> 00:02:25.202
- Thank you, sir.
- Division will assign them counsel.
00:02:26.143 --> 00:02:30.999
- But not me.
- From what I get from your colleagues...
00:02:30.999 --> 00:02:33.992
you're much too valuable in your
present assignment to be wasted...
